History
St Patrick’s was formed in October of 1971 the primary aim of its founders was to give all age groups of boys and young men from Donagh and the surrounding areas the opportunity to play GAA games at the highest level and in the best facilities available and hopefully win as many major honours as possible especially the Fermanagh senior championship. We all are in some ways carrying on the dreams and aspirations of such great men as the late Paddy Foster (on left) who was our first chairman, and the late Arthur Melarkey (on right) our first secretary.
Other founder members who formed the first committee included, Michael Mc Manus, Brian O Hanlon, Frank Mc Elroy, John Cadden. The Rev PJ Duffy and Rev L Lynch were the first presidents. In the early years Paddy Foster was the driving force and inspiration in the club, he hoped that one day St Pats would have a senior team capable of beating the best not only in Fermanagh but Ulster and indeed All Ireland. He, who expressed an opinion that we should build our own Croke Park in Donagh. This providing our players with playing facilities equal to anywhere in Ireland. The current committee is working hard to bring the club to the stages in its development by building a stand on the pitch and providing new changing rooms for visiting clubs. 

The St Patrick's Ladies Club was founded with the whole-hearted support of our men's club. In the spring of 1993 Denise Maguire with a few other girls were seen having a kick about on the Louis Leonard Memorial Park. As a result of this a sideline discussion led to a meeting taking place of ladies in the Donagh/Knocks area in the St Pat's GAA clubrooms on 13th May chaired by Bridie Leonard with Sean Maguire present from our men's club. The first officers elected were chairperson- Joanne McGrade, Vice chairperson- Denise Maguire, Secretary- Monica Boyle, Assistant Secretary- Linda Treacy, Treasure- Martina O'Reilly, Assistant Treasurer- Mandy McCaffery, Referees- Mickey McGrade, Cathal Rehill, Paddy Boyle, Seamus McMahon and Eugene Cadden. The county board delegates were Monica Boyle and Ellen Leonard who attended their first County Board meeting 17th May.
